PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 30/26, Up 35%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TO PICK with MAL has triggered its stop at $34.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  When combined with previous guidance, this will result in a net investment gain of 50%.  

TOP PICK

Canadian aerospace and defense in Canada is one of the biggest fields. It has contracts with Airbus and Boeing and the structural demand is there for years. It can grow at 20% per year for years to come. There is a very big structural change on the defense side where Magellan has a lot of spare capacity for defense applications. He sees much more room for EBITA margin improvement and the ability to fill excess capacity with better quality.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We again reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  The company is front and centre on defense projects in Canada, including maintenance for the new Swedish fighter jets and development of light anti-tank weapons for the Canadian Federal government.  Cash reserves are growing while debt is retired and shares bought back.  We continue to recommend a stop at $29, looking to achieve $42 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 0.5%

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 18/26, Up 38.8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with MAL is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $26) to $29 at this time.  

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Pretty nice move up, now pulled back. Chart shows a staircase -- rallies, holds at a higher level, rallies, holds. May find support around $30. Long-term RSI and technical trends are favourable, as is the aerospace sector.

TOP PICK

Seeing decade-long demand. Huge demand in defence, plus big aircraft parts replacement cycle. Lots of spare capacity, so new work comes with high, incremental margins. As a result, big pickup in FCF generation. Yield is 0.67%.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We again reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  The Canadian company sees its defense industry products having lots of runway ahead.  Recently reported earnings showed a 52% increase in net income over the year, growing cash reserves and they plan to continue to buy back shares.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $22) to $26, looking to achieve $41 -- upside potential over 30%.  Yield 0.6%

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 21/26, Up 46.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with MAL has achieved its target at $29.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $20) to $22.  

BUY

The five-year chart looks good. Since early 2025, the chart shows higher highs and higher lows. Likes it.

TOP PICK

High insider ownership, so company is relatively undiscovered. One investor owns more than 50% of the company -- so it doesn't screen well for institutional investors. Business is booming. 

Defense (~30% of its business, and he anticipates 45-50% in future) and aerospace. Good backlog. Seeing record requests for proposals, especially on defense. Huge operating leverage to get higher margins, which will increase FCF. One of the cheapest in the sector within NA. Yield is 0.83%.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate MAL as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings demonstrated growing cash reserves, while debt was retired and shares bought back.  Purchasers of their airplane components have large backlog orders from 2025 leftover and spending on defense aviation is expected to grow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $18) to $20, looking to achieve $29 -- upside potential of 20%.  Yield 0.8%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly
